Investigators say Hughes was likely lying in his bed when he was first stabbed, and later found lying on the floor in the fetal position next to the bed.

Investigators say they found Cannon about three hours later, at a tent site about seven miles away. The report says Cannon admitted to stabbing Hughes after he said Hughes struck him in the head with a golf club, choked him and tried to gouge his eyes out. Cannon told investigators he stabbed Hughes with a large kitchen knife because Hughes pulled out a knife first. He told investigators he had no choice but to kill him.

"When asked where he stabbed the (victim), (Cannon) stated, 'anywhere I could, whatever it took.'" the report says.
